– We do not understand at all what this might involve. We have met Pang Da as late as yesterday, and everything is on track. There must be some misunderstanding. There is something not right here, says Ms Gustav at Saab’s information department said.

Honestly I think that quote without context or even a question he answered that to it says nothing. If he wanted to express that the agreement is no longer binding but they are still working on it (which they are obviously doing right now) this quote is just non-relevant. I know that every news service is jumping on that right now but I’d really ask you to keep calm and carry on until we get some more information.

I hate to say this, but this is very reminiscent of the Rover deal. They will be expecting SAAB to go bankrupt, and pick over what is left. I would love to be froven wrong, but never sure if you can trust the Chinnese

…and what exactly would Pang Da gain by “picking over what is left”? They have the largest dealer network in China. Do you expect Pang Da to suddenly start producing cars on their own, based on looted bits and pieces of technology? Youngman OTOH might benefit from choosing that route, but would suddenly find themselves in competition with many others having similar plans. And they have already had several opportunities to bury Saab. It is worth pointing out that TT is now casting new doubts over Pang Da’s letter to the appeals court — several weeks after it was worth… Read more »

If Phoenix, or at least some key components, are close to completion, then yes, it may have higher NPV to work over SAAB as a rotting corpse than to invest billions of SEK into an uncertain venture. All they need to do is do the math, which I’m sure they already did. The final outcome of this will reflect that math and that math alone; never forget that for Youngman/PaDang this nothing but business, and not a love affair like the one enthusiasts have over the brand.

The Chinese are now standing by the side of pool with their arms folded, waiting for that last, big bubble.

If (and I’ll say that again.) IF it is true that all the documents have not been filed with the NRDC, it doesn’t matter if PangDa have cancelled the deal or not, the approval will not come in time to save the Re-Organistation & that I’m afraid, will be that.

This cannot be correct, can it? Bare in mind that Mr Pang himself wrote a letter of support for Saab that was filed in the second application for reconstruction (the one in the appeal court). If the agreement between Saab and Pang Da would have become invalid if a reconstruction was granted – why on earth would Mr Pang submit that letter in to the court? Doen´t make sense, not to me at least.

Why would the Chinese bail out from the deal when they earlier ordered 2 000 cars from Saab which, from my point of view, is an indication that they’re not waiting for bankruptcy. I mean, why would they buy these cars when they could’ve got so much more for a better price after bankruptcy? For the record, to hell with the fat lady, she can go backstage and hide! (I doubt she’ll listen, though…) Now, I am very fond of Saab, I own one myself (my very first car actually) and I like the way the company positioned itself, clean… Read more »

Smithy In a way Saab does have an up-sclaed version of Spyker’s factory – they haven’t made a car for a while either… Either way I would not recommend Spyker as a model for any company as it has lost hand over fist for every year of its life.

I BY A SAAB CABRIO GRIFFIN IN APRIL,BUT I THINK WHAT MUST I DO? I AM DESPERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i see only dark skys in the haven,here in belgium,nobody here can answer my question,not in SWEDEN,not in EUROPE!!!!!!!!!!!!! whats happend now??????????????
